Match Thread Everton 0-0 Brentford, Saturday 23rd November, 3pm

[Milkman]

Terrible result. Terrible performance. Terrible negative manager.

It's such a punishment watching us play, what did we all do to deserve it?

 

[TyphooToffee]

Sack him and get a no-manager bounce.

 

[HappyJack]

Thought they kept their shape admirably whilst we passed the ball aimlessly from side to side with no threat whatsoever

This.

 

[hallamblue]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team play against 10 men and look as impotent as what I just saw.

Spurs went down to 9 against us when Walter Smith was manager and we still barely registered a shot!

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

WHere is the movement? Must be the easiest to mark against. Pedestrian and no overlapping - has to change

Even managed to coach the buzz out of Illiman

 

[Bebeto]

Tbh if it went on for another hour we still wouldn't score

It isn't the point...we could have done ourselves with "only" 4 minutes added on time when we got beat at home against Bournemouth

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Seems Lindstrom an NDiaye aren't going to change a team who can't score goals into one that can then. People told me in the summer they'd make all the difference to a team on it's arse...

Yet again - this team is bang in trouble until it brings in players with pace, who are capable of scoring goals.

When we can do that, we'll also be able to attract a manager capable of progressing us.

Only Southampton have scored less - and that'll remain the same until January.

Crap.

Hard to disagree mate.

I’m more annoyed that we never looked like being the better team and SD never went 2 up top until the 70th minute.

Beto actually caused them problems when he came on.

4mins added on seemed a bit short.

More prehistoric football before a very tough run of games.

but you can’t see it getting any better we’ve had months and months of this

Really glad I’m chilling out in Spain in the sunshine.

 

[Toffeeforme]

Somebody needs to have a closer look at the referee...couldn't wait to blow the whistle at the end. Barely played 4 minutes added on time can't be simply be incompetence.

You must be having a laugh. They wouldn't of scored if they played till xmas day

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Very very bad....

McNeill exemplified everything about that performance today. Lacklustre, dopey uninspiring drap nonsense

Word of the day/year

 

[GoldenToffee]

Problem areas:

Left back - offers absolutely nothing in the opposition half.

Right back - see left back.

Central midfield - nobody can pick a pass, no goal threat.

Whatever wing McNeil is on - joke of a player that offers nothing outside of a three match purple patch each season.

Up front - see left/right back.

Manager - is taking us down.

We WILL be bottom of the league on January 1st 2025, imo up to 5 points off safety.

no we need the manager to attract the players

It s dark here, sideways wind and rain.

“That’s a point gained. Normally, after having a man advantage for most of the match, we’d lose on a counter attack, own goal, controversial VAR decision, lack of obvious substitutions, or penalty given away, but through all the adversity, we battled and hung on for that draw.” -Sean Dyche
